“The Safety Management Database System (SMDS) is extremely user friendly and verification of employees is effortless. The proactive approach taken by the Ironworkers International Union to maintain a drug free workforce is a significant benefit to us as a union contractor.”

IMPACT Drug Free Workforce

First developed in 2005, the IMPACT Drug Free Workforce Program has been revised and is up and running.

The goal of the IMPACT Program is to ensure ironworkers are drug-free and ready to work, and to make IMPACT member contractors more competitive in our industry.

IMPACT's Drug Free Workforce program:

Creates a national pool of safe, drug-free ironworkers

Offers a strong random test component

Allows for instant and laboratory testing

Encourages and provides training for Reasonable Suspicion

Accepts Owner Controlled Programs to eliminate repetitive testing

Provides member rehabilitation

Allows contractors to incorporate the IMPACT program for contractor employees

Includes comprehensive contractor training

Uses a state-of-the-art and secured database to verify a participant's status 24 hours a day

Saves YOU money and ensures a safe, quality workforce

The IMPACT Program works with pre-qualified third party administrators to manage the overall process of the Program, ensuring testing compliance by state, administering the random selection process, and ensuring a large network of collection sites and collector quality control.

Now there are more than 3,000 sites available with eScreen’s electronic chain-of-custody. Just obtain authorization via IMPACT’s SMDS, and schedule tests at sites automatically. This video tutorial has what you need to get started right away. With eScreen, there’s no more faxing and POCT test results are uploaded within an hour. Click here to begin.
